Contemporary life, full of rules and conditioning, has led to a complete standardization of people. Everyone behaves the same way, talks about the same things, dresses more or less the same, shares the same ambitions, and dreams the same dreams. In other words, individuality, those unique characteristics that define each person, have disappeared in a pragmatic and controlled world.

We live caged, always having to follow the standard, fit into predetermined norms as if we were all the same. Life becomes a large production line, where everyone must do the same things, at the same time, and at the same pace, making everyone identical, without any peculiarities that could distinguish one individual from another and, consequently, make them special.

We are trapped in superficial lives, becoming superficial beings, entirely uninteresting, even to ourselves. We always talk about the same things with everyone, hearing programmed responses that make us suitable for life in society. But what is the use of an adaptation that turns everyone into an army of completely identical and boring people, seeking economic success while their lives plunge into depression?
